After long time, i decided to work again on this case and i was able to make detect this helium drive with correct size in windows.
I just did some little modifiations on the usb controller rom.

Unfortunately drive is still unusable :cry:

I came to conclusion that this drive has damaged translators
Unfortunately a solution is still unavailable for this type of drive. :(

Hi Michael,

I have similar PCB with those capacitors missing. What model board did you find the missing capacitors from?

Ok, i've soldered those two capacitors below the motor chip and now seem that drive is spinning properly, listen to audio file

I've attached the hard drive to sata port of my 64bit Win7 OS, now it is identified in device management but only after "drivers installation" message, which takes about 1 minute since i power on hdd.

I don't know if is normal that it takes so long. :?

MRT doesn't support this drive, even for surface scan or simple smart checking.
HD Tune is too "stupid" to show the smart properly, crystaldisk is better but isn't able to show thesholds, Victoria is better because is able to show helium level which HD Tune and Crystal can't.

Standing on what Victoria smart is showing, the drive seem to be fine but i haven't found yet a tool which is able to show me sectors on UA.
MRT ---> failed
R-Studio ---> failed
WinHex ---> failed
Victoria ---> failed

I don't know yet if is normal behaving like that when this encrypted type of hdd are attached direcly to sata port, the drive came here with his WD enclosure attached to sata/usb controller which has ASM1151W mcu.
Probably after i'll remount the drive to his usb controller i will be able to access to data, but first i've to find out if controller and power supply are ok. I don't want donor pcb get killed.

Hi,
i bought a donor pcb with same number as the patient one.
Donor pcb didn't have those 2 caps under VCM controller because i bought it from a seller with a bad reputation on ebay.
At that time it was the only pcb i did find, so i decided to risk, but now i think you will be able to find more placed where to buy this pcb. IMHO.

If you already bought a donor pcb without exactly those pair of caps then i think you were ripped from your seller.

P.S.
Now that i went back to watch the original pic, i see that only one of those 2 component was a cap (orange colour), the black one is a resistor.

Ignore what i've just written in P.S, i did confusion.
I confirm that those 2 components are both caps.
